Everybody makes mistakes in life, but a mistake made on your travel could ruin your whole trip. These are the mistakes you should avoid making.
Renting a place on the outskirts to save money
Yes, staying in a hotel or in an apartment on the outskirts can be cheaper, when you don’t include the money you will spend on transport every day. Public transport can save you money, but what about after midnight? If you go out at night, you will have to walk or get a taxi. Not fun, right? Also, places near the town center are always nicer.
Paying for things you can get for free
Before you go to your trip, make sure you Google all the places you want to visit and see. You should always check if there are some free walking tours, museum entries, ticket discounts. For example, students and pensioners are also given ticket discounts or maybe your hotel or apartment has a discount deal with the place you want to enter. Either way, always check first.
Not paying attention to reviews
You should carefully read reviews whether it is review of a sight, cafe, restaurant or a nightclub. There are websites and applications which are made for reviewing stuff. The most popular is the Tripadvisor, where you can find reviews about anything. Yelp will help you to find the best restaurants and cafes. And last but not least is Foursquare, which will lend you information about the most popular places you are visiting.
Not buying tickets online
Waiting in lines to some of the most popular and famous places can take a long time and it can be exhausting, so think ahead and buy tickets online.
